Namaste,
This is Devi and I am so grateful to share this space with you.
Today's practice is about opening,
Not forcing and not fixing,
But gently softening the heart,
One breath at a time.
When the world feels too fast or when we feel disconnected from our own light,
Returning to the heart brings us home.
Let's begin by settling in.
Allow yourself to arrive as you are.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Let your breath be your invitation inward.
Place one or both hands gently over your heart space.
Feel your own warmth there.
Maybe even the soft rhythm of your heartbeat.
Let's breathe into this space together.
Inhale slowly through your nose.
Exhale softly through your mouth.
Breathe in as your heart itself is expanding.
Breathe out,
Letting any tightness melt away.
Let each breath feel like an embrace.
Let it soften you layer by layer.
Now,
We'll move gently into some affirmations spoken directly to the heart.
Whisper them softly to yourself.
Let them live inside your body,
Not just in your thoughts.
Inhale,
My heart is open to love.
Exhale,
I am safe to receive.
Inhale,
Compassion flows through me.
Exhale,
Kindness begins with me.
Inhale,
I forgive myself and others.
Exhale,
I release what no longer serves me.
Inhale,
I am connected to all living beings.
Exhale,
I give and receive love freely.
Now,
Choose the affirmation that resonates most with your soul today and repeat it softly with your next few breaths.
Let it anchor into your heart space.
Let it become part of you.
Now,
With your hands still resting over your heart,
Visualize a gentle glow like golden light forming there.
With every inhale,
It grows warmer.
With every exhale,
It expands.
See it spreading across your chest,
Into your arms,
Down to your belly,
Into your legs,
Your feet,
And even beyond your body.
Your heart is not just a part of you.
It's your center,
Your compass,
Your quiet power.
Let that warmth surround you like a cocoon.
Let yourself be held by your own love.
Now,
Gently whisper in word,
I carry love within me.
I am never separate from it.
I am love.
I am light.
I am whole.
Feel the truth of these words sink in.
Let this be your offering to yourself today.
No one else needs to validate it.
Your heart already knows it.
Slowly begin to bring awareness back into the room.
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes.
Take a soft breath in,
And a long grounding breath out.
Carry this open-heartedness into your day.
May it guide your words,
Your actions,
And your presence.
You are radiant.
You are enough.
And your heart is your home.
Namaste.
